Our list is :
Archer (but I worry it would be shortened to Archie)
Hunter
Axel/Axl (my worry is people think of car parts but I do love the name)
Xander
Leo (DP really not that keen, says its more of a dogs name?)
Orion (DPs choice but I worry it could be too out there and get shortened to Ryan)

Middle names will be old fashioned family names if that matters at all.

DC1 has quite a unusual name, similar in sound to Noah but is a unisex name.

We are really stuck this time round.

I like Xander and Archer from your list :)
The others are ok, except Axel/Axl which I find dire (sorry)

Axel/Axl is truly dreadful.

The others aren't to my taste but I wouldn't raise an eyebrow at any of them. If you always refer to him as Archer I don't think people will necessarily call him Archie (more than once!). Orion is a bit more "out there" than the others (and was in the running for the name of one of our cats).
